My New Routine

20 June 2009
I've discovered that law school has started me on a deadly routine:

(An ordinary law school weekday)
  • 6:00AM: My first alarm rings. My first alarm is usually a party song. Currently, it's Freeze by Chris Brown and T-Pain. I wake up. Fighting the urge to lie back down, I pray, get up and go to the bathroom. I turn my laptop on and read the emails I missed last night.
  • 7:00AM: My second alarm rings at 7AM. It's usually a mellow, sunny song. Currently, it's Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles. It just somehow cheers me up. If I'm still sleepy sometime during these hours (practically everytime), I ask for coffee. Then, I just study non-stop. I do have occasional Twitter, Facebook, RSS feeds break. I'm very productive in the morning. Focus and concentration is usually in the zone. My brain actually works like a sponge until I get distracted by the internet.
  • 10:30AM: I eat my breakfast/lunch (aka brunch). It's usually pretty heavy or most of the time fattening because I really mix breakfast food with lunch. Haha. Like fruit, all sorts of bread and ulam. Yeah. I won't be eating till after class, so I need brain food. Most of the time, I'll be craving for food by this hour.
  • 10:50AM: I continue studying. I always finish just somewhere in between this time.
  • 11:30AM: I take a bath, dress-up, fix myself and my things. Sometimes, I even recite all the articles/sections or provisions in the shower for recall. I really don't like hurrying up to do all these things. I usually enjoy taking my time, relaxing for a bit while watching CNN. I love World News. I leave for school as soon I finish.
  • 12:45PM: I arrive in school and head to our room. Most of the time, everyone's just studying or discussing. I prefer going there for the discussions. It really feels like High School all over again. Only a million times harder.
  • 1:00PM: Class time. It's either...

I'm back. Dying, but back.

6 October 2008

I’m soooo happy. Jumps up with joy! And to celebrate my return, I’ll put up a new layout during sembreak. If sembreak won’t eat me alive that is.

As for right now, I’m way too preoccupied with school work to blog, but let me just say that I am intensely beyond terrified of the week ahead. This semester has been my lightest sem ever – at least academically speaking. For the most part, I wish I had overloaded at least one more subject to keep my next sem even lighter. I would’ve probably been more academically productive. Contrary to my light scholastic endeavors, everything else proved to be a challenge though.

Of course, I’ve been procrastinating to no end lately – setting aside a lot of work to watch all the episodes I download in a day. How terrible.

The initial schedule I put up is majorly screwed, which means I could be screwed.

God help me.
